PARASITIC MAN

Ambar Kirania.

~Happy Reading~

Ambar Kirania is a young mother who already has a son named Juha Enoch. Currently, Juha enters the age of 5 years, and has started attending school in Kindergarten.

Every morning Juha went to school in between by her father, Rulof Kardasa. Because her school was in the same direction, when her father left for the office. The new school was picked up by his mother, Ambar.

As of today, Ambar had gone home to pick up his son from school. They just got off the commuterline at Bintara Station. From the station they walk to the house, because the residential complex where Ambar lives is not far from the station.

"Mamaa, ayooo, hurry the way. Juha was thirsty and hungry." Said Juha, pulling Ambar's hand. He was impatient, wanting to get home.

"Yeah, Juha. Patience, it's coming soon." Ambar said while wiping off his sweat, because Juha made him walk very fast.

Although using an umbrella, it still feels hot, because the weather above 11:00 is hot. When she got home, Ambar took a drink for Juha and herself. "Juha, it's a drink first, then change clothes. After that we just ate." Say Ambar, while giving a glass of mineral water to Juha. He also drank a glass of water that had been taken for him.

After drinking, Juha went into her room to change her clothes as her mother had said. He quickly changed clothes, because he wanted to eat soon.

"Art, if the cooking is ripe, please prepare, yes. Juha is hungry." Ambar said to his assistant who was in the kitchen, before going to the room to change his clothes.

"Feel it's ripe, ma'am, but it's over now." Answer Art slowly, and say it hesitantly while approaching her Nyonya.

"It's over, Art? Who's spending it?" Ambar asked, surprised and astonished, while turning to look at the Art that approached him. 'The art can't possibly finish all the chicken and vegetables that it has been cooked into one.' Thought Ambar, since it cooks quite a lot, it can be for dinner too.

Before leaving to pick up Juha, Ambar had prepared everything with his roof. The art of staying mature, while waiting for him to come home to pick Juha up.

"So his brother came and ate, Mom. Keep the rest of the cooking brought home too." Art slowly explains the events that occur, so that the cuisine can be exhausted before being eaten by them.

"Oooh, did Brother Inge come here? Why doesn't Brother Inge tell me, huh?" Ask Ambar, then pick up the phone to check, maybe Inge has sent a message or there is a call. It turned out that there were no missed calls or messages from Inge.

"Yes, it's Art, just cook it, which can quickly ripen. Maybe you can just drop the egg first, because Juha is hungry. I want to change clothes, just cook again for us.

"Mom, the eggs are gone, too." Saying Art, getting slower. "out? wasn't there some eggs in the fridge?" Ambar asked in astonishment, while heading towards the refrigerator to confirm it. Because he knew, just now while preparing the dish, there were still a few eggs in the refrigerator.

"Yeah, Mom. It's still there, but it's been brought in the same father's brother." Say Art again. Ambar immediately looked at Art as if in disbelief. After seeing the contents of the empty refrigerator, Ambar gawked, not believing what he saw. Nothing can be cooked anymore. The chicken that was cooked was the last chicken in the fridge. The few remaining fish are no longer in use.

"Art, this please buy 1/4 kg eggs in the stall yaa, later made cow eyes for the three of us." Say Ambar, while removing Rp.10,000 from the wallet and give it to Seni.

Ambar walked into the room to change his clothes with a sad heart. Because the child will eat eggs and rice again. This happens often, towards the end of the month. But now just past the middle of the month, all one month's food stock has been lost.

*((**))*

By dinner time, Rulof had not yet returned home from the office. Ambar sent a message to her husband. "Mas, what time's the office?" Fill in Ambar's message to Rulof. He couldn't wait for her to eat.

"I'm overtime, I'm home at night." Reply message from Rulof, Ambar immediately bowed lethargic. She hoped her husband would come home soon, so that he could order food for their dinner.

"Art, the money from noon still has change?" Ask Ambar to Art, about the change in eggs.

"There is still, Mom. I put it on the fridge." Answer Art, pointing with his thumb up the refrigerator.

"Please Art plusin, so you can buy eggs for our dinner, yeah." An unkind Ambar said to his assistant.

"Good, Mom. I'm going to the stall." Say Art, while taking the money on top of the refrigerator and going into his room to take the extra money. Then get out of the house to buy eggs at the stall.

Ambar bowed shyly and sadly in the living room. In order to buy eggs, he had to ask for additional money from his assistant. The money is left, only a Rp. 10,000, which was already given to Art this afternoon.

After Art came home from the stall, Ambar immediately went to the kitchen to make an omelet. Because they had eaten rice with cow's eye eggs this afternoon, tonight with an omelet.

"Art, please call Juha to eat, huh." Say Ambar, after the food has been served at the dining table. Juha came and sat down at the dinner table without a sound, because she saw the face of her unhappy mother.

"Juha, pray, then eat. After we finish eating, we study for a while in the room, yes. Juha tell me, I learned anything in school." Ambar said, inviting his son to speak, seeing him be silent.

"Yes, Ma." Juha answered briefly, like her short meal. After eating, Juha went into her room again.

"Arts, is there still Juha milk?" Ask Ambar.

"Still, Mom. Shall I make you guys?" Ask Art.

"Not now, Art. A little more I just made." Say Ambar again.

After talking to Juha in her room and accompanying her to study, Ambar goes out into the kitchen to make milk before Juha falls asleep.

'Thank God there is milk. If not, pity my son.' Ambar saturate, while making milk.

After drinking milk, Ambar accompanied Juha lying down while reading a story before going to bed. After she finished hearing the story, Juha hugged her Mama. "Mama, Juha's calf hurts a lot." Said Juha, pointing at her calf.

"Then Juha got up and prayed, yes. After that, just lie down. Mama's gonna poke your calf." Said Ambar, fearing that Juha fell asleep while being kneaded.

"Yes, Ma." Said Juha, immediately get up and pray. Ambar takes warm oil to massage Juha's calves and feet.

"Now that Juha is lying down, Mama will massage your calves and legs." Say Ambar, and Juha lies down again.

Ambar stomped on Juha's calves and legs with a heart that became more sad because he knew, Juha felt sore and sore in her legs because of walking from the station to the house.

When she saw that her son had fallen asleep, Ambar stopped kneading his calves and covered Juha with a blanket. Then kissed her forehead fondly, then went out of the room to go to her room.
